Any time a dungeon allow a triple pull, you should probably hallowed/bolide it, just because that's by far the most efficient mitigation tool in your toolbox. Doubly so if it's a quad pull, or if the enemies in the triple are especially strong (like Mt Gulg)

cheetah7071 posted:I think fell cleave was a lot more impressive when it wasn't like, a full 30% of the buttons you press, but something that came up two or three times a minute I feel like paladin might have it the worst since you need to count your casts during requiscat since you need to finish with the other ability. With warrior you can just spam till you run out. (Also 3 is easy enough not to lose track of.) Gnashing fang in GNB feels mostly fine to me since you alternate back and forth with continuation.

the best part about old dungeons is when you can pull 4+ packs and make your healer friend screech in panic over voice comms its not wall to "however much i can handle" and im gonna find that second wall come hell or high water

I actually think paladin in shb got the 1-1-1-1 rotation right. Four casts of holy spirit is enough that counting provides a similar mental load to running your fingers along the combo bar, and the fact that you're watching your MP bar instead of a buff feels different even if it amounts to the same thing.

I am farming cards for the Triple Triad mount and Field Notes for the mount. I have developed a seething hatred for RNG that will continue to burn for all eternity. I never want to see Ghimlyt Dark ever again once I get this lousy Prometheus card.

Having the buff that shows your Requiescat stacks has been massively helpful for me, if I lose track, I can confirm where I am really easily.

It is technically still possible, but you only have 0.04ish seconds of leeway, so it's going to be very difficult to get consistently. More Skill Speed is going to be a bigger increase than anything else you could do and even if you play both WAR and PLD, WAR is perfectly fine running a 2.44-2.46 GCD.

I hit FoF right before goring blade and it was still up every time I hit resquiat through that test. I would have bumped up the SS if I was missing it. I will say there was one time I circle of scorned early instead of waiting a few seconds to hit it under FoF, but it isn't 300 dps worth of difference. Getting more from raid buffs that boost DH is definitely a thing, though, and looking at FFlogs PLD and WAR are pretty much neck and neck at the top. I also went from 2.41 gcd to 2.5 on my war because I do more damage that way. I don't benefit at all from skillspeed on war, and I'm currently parsing in the upper 80s without an upgraded weapon. The tenacity increase on warrior is worth much more than any skillspeed, at least in my personal experience. If I were remelding for PLD I wouldn't add much (or any) speed and would just drop in DH unless I noticed I wasn't getting resquiat in with FoF. I am gonna run PLD some with my static to see how it goes. Mr. Nice! fucked around with this message at 23:11 on Jan 28, 2022 |

Requiescat isn't affected by FoF anymore, it's unaspected non-physical damage. This doesn't change anything, since you're using it under FoF in any sensible situation, but it is something to remember. Also yeah more sks lets you squeeze in an extra buffed Riot Blade every rotation, which is almost certainly worth more than extra tenacity.

Keep Living Dead as is, but add Blood Weapon from FFXI and you have to deal enough damage to drain enemies to heal yourself back up to full.

It's so weird to me that blood weapon doesn't give you HP drain, it really seems like it should. That would certainly solve DRK's lack of self healing buttons.

The 3rd hit of the single target melee combo has a little heal attached to it (same for WAR). Edit: Souleater. Clarste fucked around with this message at 01:00 on Jan 29, 2022 |

Looking it up, Paladin is the only tank that doesn't have a small heal attached to their basic combo.

It was initially because they just have higher passive mitigation.

I usually go for 10 gcd FoF instead of 11 and im on a 2.42 GCD. I lose dps but the flex I have while doing mechanics and stuff so that I always get 2 FoF Goring Blades is worth it IMO. Also on my ping it's kinda hard to get all 11 in even on a training dummy.

It was expensive, but if you dropped Grit and used Blood Weapon Quietus you could basically instantly restore a full MP bar in one GCD . It was a lot of fun.

Souleater used to heal a percentage of the damage dealt (it's strictly a 300 potency cure now) and in Stormblood DRK still had Sole Survivor, which would heal 30% HP/MP if the target died and 20% HP/MP if the duration expired first. Abyssal Drain was also spammable (you just needed Dark Arts for the drain effect). That's three pretty strong healing tools that are greatly neutered or gone by now.

Finally finished Endwalker after starting ARR several months ago. Kinda glad that my prior attempts to get into it failed since it was certainly an experience going through the entire story without having to wait years between expansions. Honestly one of my all-time favorite games now.        Unfortunately it is now going to be impossible to give a poo poo about GW2 or WoW ever again.

It serves the same purpose as warriors rounding the corner into Fel Cleave alley while being a lot more visually interesting. It helps that I rank gunbreaker on par with warrior in terms of good sound and animation design.

I'm considering the move to the new Oceanic data center just because that latency is too good to pass up. Did the Oceanic FC end up moving to a new server over there or are they still on Elemental?

I think most people who moved to Materia joined pubbie FCs.
